My friend, Mable, makes the most scrumptious sugar cookies! Our young women at church love them. I’m not the best cook, but she makes me look good, so I made them for my family for Valentine’s day. This is also a great recipe for Easter cookies. They are tender, not crisp. This recipe is a keeper.
Mable’s Sugar Cookie
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 c. sour cream
- 1 T. vanilla
- 1/2 c. butter flavored Crisco
- 6 1/2 c. flour
- 1 T. baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix wet ingredients in mixer. Sift dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until dough is easy to handle. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick and cut out on floured counter. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 – 9 minutes. (I baked them for 11 minutes.)
Cream Cheese Frosting
(I usually double the frosting.)
- 1 T. butter
- 2 T. cream cheese
- 1 t. almond or coconut flavoring extract
- 3+ c. powdered sugar
- 1 or 2 T. milk
Soften butter and cream cheese in microwave. Add extract of choice. Stir in powdered sugar. Add milk slowly while stirring until cream.
